Sunderland to seal Sebastian Coates loan move?

Sunderland hope to seal a loan move for Liverpool defender Sebastian Coates on transfer deadline day, ruling out another loan move for Fabio Borini, according to a report.

The Black Cats are keen on bolstering their defensive ranks, with the Daily Mail reporting that Coates will finalise a season-long deal to link up with fellow Uruguayan Gus Poyet.

However, should the move go through, it would bring an end to long-term loan target Borini potentially moving to the Stadium of Light, as the Premier League only allows clubs to take one player from a team on loan.

Summer transfers for Premier League sides need to be partially secured by 11pm tomorrow night, with time being given to ratify some types of paperwork overnight.
